Killer of Tulelake
Woman Executed
San Quentin, Calif. U.R)
Henry Thomas, 33, had his sev
enth date with death Friday and
this time he kept it.
The tall, slim Negro was calm
and composed as he shuffled into
the lethal gas chamber at San
Quentin and was executed for
his part in the holdup-slaying of
a woman nearly six years ago.
He said nothing and sat im
passively as guards strapped him
into the death chair. At 10:03
a.m. the cyanide pellets were
dropped into the sulphuric acid
beneath the chair. At 10:11 a.m.
Thomas was pronounced dead
by Dr. M. D. Willcutts.
Thomas had won six reprieves
during his five years on death
row, one of them coming just
half an hour before he was to
die. But Gov. Goodwin J. Knight
rejected two such reprieves this
week.
Thomas and Willie McCain
were convicted of slaying Mrs.
Velsie Ainsworth, wife of a
Tulelake, Calif., grocer in Octo
ber, 1950. McCain is serving a
life term.
CONSERVATIVES LEAD
Quito, Ecuador (U.R) Latest
returns from the June 3 presi
dential elections showed Friday
the Conservative party appar
ently will return to power after
6C years of liberal control of
Ecuador. The returns gave Con
servative Camilo Ponce a mar
gin of about 5.000 votes over
Paul C. Huerta, his nearest rival.
Fisheries Director
Ordered Removed
Portland (UP) The Ore
gon State Fish Commission Fri
day reported the removal of M.
T. Hoy as state director of fish
eries and his replacement by
Milton C. James, research co
ordinator for Pacific Marine
Fisheries Commission.
The commission said Hoy
would be retained on the staff
but probably at reduced pay.
Robert Jones, one of three com
missioners, said Hoy's replace
ment followed a month of dis
cussions and that the director
had taken on too many duties
to handle his job properly. Jones
also asserted that Hoy had
caused some dissension among
research experts.
Hoy has served 33 years with
the Commission. He has been di
rector since 1954.

signed "Your friend." It thanked
Davenport twice "for the dough"
and said "I am keeping the
money that was in it but return

Burled Treasure
Patent Date Passes Test;
1865 Rifle Valuable Item
There were so many short
barreled handguns in the show
case that it looked as if every
mobster in St. Louis must have
hocked his hardware.
"I think I'll take a look at that
one," said Frank, pointing to a
pile of three weapons in the far
corner. The Smith & Wesson .22
with ths spur trigger."
"It's a seven-shot, rim fire,"
the clerk said. You can practic
ally carry it in your vest pocket."
The barrel, of octagon-shape,
blued steel, was only a trifle ov
er three inches long. Frank
broke the action, peered through
the cylinders and examined the
rifling.
"It's in fair shape," he said,
"but frankly, it was made back
in the 1800's and $25 is just too
steep a price."
"I'll give you $15," Frank said.
"Split the difference," replied
the clerk. "It's yours for $20."
"Why pay $20 for that?" I ask- j
ed. "It looks like one of the thou- j
sands they made back in the :
1870s. Common as dirt."
"It looks like one, but it is-:
n't," said Frank. "Here's the !
test." i
He pointed to the cylinder on 1
which was plainly stamped the j
patent date April 3, 1855. i
"Usually the patent dates are i
worn off. But when you find
them stamped clearly on the '
cylinder of a .22 like this, you
know you've got the first breech-'
loading revolver made for me
tallic ammo as we know it today
. . . . And that means it's worth
considerably more than $20.
About five times as much," said
Frank with a smirk of satisfaction.
LADY WITH ZEPPELIN STAMPS WILL WAIT LONGER
"I am not interested in buy
ing any stamps," the woman
said. "But I might like to sell
some." And she set her handbag
on the counter and began to
search through it.
Up she came with a small
block of cardboard on which was
held under a cellophane cover a
block of four Graf Zeppelin
stamps.
They were the brown stamps
of the $1.30 denomination that
was put out for the Europe-Pan
American flight that took place
in the late spring of 1931.
"There," she said, handing
them to Harry. "He paid $5.25
for them at the time and told me
they'd be worth a lot of money in
20 years.
"He was right," Harry replied.
"They catalogue at $185 for a
block of four today, and I'll be
glad to give you $150 for them."
She looked at them thoughtful
ly for a moment or two. "He was
right in a way," she finally said
with just a shade of disappoint
ment in her voice. "That would
be a really good return. But I
think I'll keep them a while
longer."
JEWELER REFUSES TO RUIN FIFTY DOLLAR GOLD PIECE
George, a jeweler friend of
mine, loves to work in precious
metals.
"I've just spent half an hour
trying to sell a person on not
having an expensive job done."
"Did you succeed?"
"No!"
"This dame came in here," he
went on, "and took out a $50
gold piece. One of those octagon
al ones put out in 1915 for the
Panama - Pacific exposition in
San Francisco. You know, one of
those coins with a tiny dolphin in
each corner."
"Well," he continued. "She had
a gold chain, one with several
nuggets on it. And what she
wanted roe to do was bore a
hole through the coin in an ar
tistic way, of course so the
chain could be run through it.
"I'm no numismatist," George
went on, "but I knew enough to
know there would be a premium
on that $50 gold piece, so I called
up a dealer and found it was
worth $800 in the market today
if in good condition, which this
one was."
"And didn't that make a dif
ference," I asked.
"None at all," George replied.
"She said that her grandfather
had bought it for her as a pres
ent to wear and that one little
hole wouldn't cut the value of
the gold. In fact, she got sore at
.me for trying to change her
mind. Said I was meddling in
her business.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
By FAY VAN SCHOIACK
One of the most beautiful of
celestial objects, when viewed
through a high powered tele
scope, is Saturn most distant of
the naked eye planets and until
the discovery of Uranus in 1781,
the most distant planet known
to man. ,
Galileo, first person to enjoy
the beauty of the ringed-planet
through the telescope was not
little mystified by the sight
which met his gaze. Later, it
was proven that Saturn was sur
rounded by three rings extend
ing out from the equator of that
body and at no point touching
the planet.
Of what are the rings com
posed?" is a common question.
Although greatly interested,
astronomers have not been able
to determine the exact nature of
these rings, called the outer, in
ner and dusky or crepe ring.
They may be countless numbers
of tiny satellites or moons each
following its own orbit about
Saturn or they may be clouds of
dust or grains of sand. But,
whatever their composition, they
are transparent enough to allow
a star of medium brightness to
be seen through them.
As Saturn travels around the
sun the rings are visible from
different angles. Twice during
the 29V4 years required for one
revolution, we see the rings at
their broadest. Midway between
the time of maximum broadness
the rings are edgewise to the
sun or earth and so invisible.
The rings were edgewise in
1937, at maximum in 1944 and
again edgewise in 1950. Some
time in 1957 the rings will ap
pear to be opened their widest.
When earth-dwellers view the
rings in their edgewise position
they appear in the telescope as a
dark band around the planet
Saturn
In size, Saturn ranks next to
the giant "king of the planets,"
Jupiter. Its volume is about 760
times that of the earth. In spite
of its huge bulk, Saturn rotates
once in a little more than 10
hours as compared with the tiny
earth's 24. This rapid rotation
causes a bulging at the equator
and a certain amount of flatten
ing at the poles.
The extremely low average
density of Saturn seems to indi
cate that very little solid or liq
uid matter, such as we know as
earth, exists on the planet. If
there is a solid or liquid core, it
is probably covered with an ex
tensive, cloud-filled atmosphere.
All summer long Saturn will
be visible in the southern sky.
To locate this planet find the red,
madly twinkling star, Antares,
almost due south and low in the
southern sky. To the right of
Antares a line of five stars lies
very nearly at right angles to
the line in which Antares is lo- 1
cated. (This is the constellation,
Sqorpio, mentioned a few weeks
ago in this column.)
Slightly to the right or west
of this line of five stars you will
find the steady, non-twinkling
light of the planet Saturn. The
stillness of its mellow glow
will distinguish this planet from
its twinkling neighbors.
In mythology Saturn was a
jealous father who imprisoned
his children so they could not
usurp his throne. He was also
ruler of the earth during the
Golden Age when everyone was
happy and no one had to work
for a living. During this time
laws were unnecessary.
To commemorate this happy
time the feast of the Saturnalia,
held each Decembr was insti
tuted before the foundation of
Rome.
